We have a Bluetooth adapter for our car audio and it’s great. Plugs into the aux jack and car power. Really handy not needing to plug in.

Yeah, I did ak3 month first, then 6 month, then 12 month. If you do a family plan, I think you can also get the cheaper price with a shorter lock-in.

I get cheaper on Mint because I get the 6 or 12 month price, but it means you have to have the money up front to pay for it.

It’s all with respect to humans. Humans aren’t making the bird nests, so they’re natural, not man-made. Our houses don’t over naturally, we build them.

From the bird’s perspective, sure, nests might be bird-made and humans are part of nature. But at humans, we’ve also done a ton to shape the world and separate ourselves from nature. If your house were a fire-heated lean-to in the woods, there might be less a distinction between it and “out in nature,” but if you’re living in a city or town, your immediate surroundings probably have been heavily constructed and modified by humans.

Well, they didn’t put carpet on the bathroom floor. But they’ve arguably found something far worse.

See, It’s all safe now!

(/s, but I did royally screw up my own feature branch with a janked rebase off the main branch before though.)

The further you go, the more specialized it gets. There are people I know doing their PhDs in CS, but it was pretty much just straight math. I’m now an expert in a very specific area of robotics. But it’s only worth it if you have a specific reason to go to grad school, like for a particular career path. If it’s just because you like learning, it’s not worth it. There’s a big opportunity cost.

My older sibling did something similar - getting Ubuntu installed on my very first laptop (a 9" netbook) back in 2008 and replacing windows XP. But be warned: it is a slippery slope. At the time , I just wanted a computer that I could take class notes on (high school), and never wanted to touch programming or the terminal. Now I have a PhD in computer science. I still don’t use Arch though.

And for me, as one of the few women in my CS program: plenty of opportunities, and plenty of douchebags.

These ads are getting so much more prevalent, and so much more subtly marked. Google (and places like reddit and Facebook) designs them to feel as much like organic content as possible. I have a pihole on my home network, in part to prevent exactly the type of mistake you described.

If you get the type of board where you add in your own microcontroller, you could replace a pro micro with a nice!nano. I don’t know how common that is on non-split keyboards, though.

My only experience was my grandparents once getting me a bucket of Megablocks when I was a kid - probably late 90s/early 2000s. Things have probably improved since then, but these things were awful. The plastic was dull, colors were pale, and they bent easily - getting those white crease marks. It was also my first lesson in tolerances, because the tolerances were also awful on them. They were inconsistent, and many were too loose to tightly connect to each other or real Lego. My grandma was also very disappointed and went back to buying the real stuff for future birthday presents!
